End Rape on Campus (EROC) is a survivor advocacy organization dedicated to ending sexual violence through survivor support, public education, and policy and legislative reform.

We provide free, direct assistance to all survivors of gender-based and sexual violence on campus interested in filing federal complaints, organizing for change, or drawing public attention to hold their schools accountable.

We have assisted hundreds of students at dozens of schools file Title IX, Clery Act, and other civil rights complaints to seek justice and reform.

LGBQ students of color who have been abused are three times more likely to miss school.

One national study found a sexual abuse to prison pipeline with girls of color, disproportionately filtering Black and Latinx LGBT/GNC girls into the juvenile justice system.

According to one study, LGBTQ youth under the age of 30 are 1.6 times more likely to experience physical violence than the general population

LGBQ Youth and Poverty

LGBTQ people face higher rates of poverty and marginalization, which puts them at greater risk for sexual assault

Many reports have found that there is an employment gap with LGBTQ people -- which could ultimately lead to poverty and homelessness if they cannot access the means to provide for themselves.

For some LGBQ individuals, such as queer women, the impact of employment discrimination and the gender wage gap affects income and disproportionately pushes them into poverty.

Sexual assault is a precursor to and consequence of homelessness -- which significantly impacts the lives of LGBTQ youth, particularly those who become homeless after coming out.

Sexual violence against women by women

A study conducted by the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault found that 1 in 3 lesbians has been sexually assaulted by another woman.
